About the Home

Accommodation

The residents find the traditional style of the house warm and comforting. We have 44 peaceful bedrooms at Brunswick, many with ensuites and recent renovations. There are two comfortable lounges and a conservatory for residents to choose from, which they are also welcome to entertain relatives in.

The grounds of the house have beautiful recently refurbished garden, courtyard, and a memorial garden. The gardens are well kept and are enjoyed by all in the spring and summer.

Activities

Residents may prefer to relax and rest or to be involved in all the activities, which take place on a daily basis during the week. We also go on regular outings to the local areas of interest. Many of the activities have been suggested by residents and we continue to encourage this practice. Ideas on any kind of improvement are welcome at all times at Brunswick House. The residents are our main priority and we do everything within our power to make them feel that this is their home.

Cuisine

Meals provided at Brunswick House are freshly prepared by our in-house cooks on a daily basis. Dishes are varied and balanced and the kitchen staff provide residents with choices at every meal time.

We accommodate all dietary requirements and adapt meals dependent on each resident’s needs.

Types of Care

Residential Care

Residential care is for older people who are finding it increasingly difficult to manage at home without additional help and support.

Residents will not only be supported with personal care but our devoted staff will take over all the everyday tasks of laundry, cooking, gardening and housekeeping, allowing the residents more time to relax and enjoy themselves in a comfortable and safe environment.

It is our priority to make everything as seamless as possible in the moving process so that your loved one maintains their independence, dignity and identity at all times. Choosing the right care home for a loved one can be an overwhelming task and we will be there to support you throughout the whole process.

We encourage friends and family to visit as often as they can and everyone is of course invited to come along to the parties and events we regularly hold for the residents.

At Buckland Care we take time to get to know each resident, tailoring the care we provide to suit each individual person.

Our dedicated team is proud of the facilities available to residents, and work hard to ensure they retain as much independence as possible but rest assured, we will be there 24 hours a day should they need us.

Nursing Care

At many of our homes we provide nursing care for older people with health problems. The care is 24 hours and is delivered by our experienced nursing teams who are both compassionate and professional, ensuring your loved one is looked after at all times.

There is a Registered Nurse on duty at all times, supported by the care staff, who all regularly attend training to keep up-to-date on all levels of care. When needed, our nurses will seek expert advice from visiting practitioners such as chiropodists, GPs and specialist consultants.

Our nursing equipment, such as profiling beds and moving & handling equipment, is updated frequently to ensure we can cater to our nursing residents’ specialist needs in the safest possible way.

We take into consideration each individual’s physical and emotional requirements and do our utmost to create an environment in which our residents feel comfortable and at ease.

Dementia Care

Choosing a care home for someone living with dementia is a major decision. You need to be sure that your loved one will be in an understanding, nurturing environment with professionals who have the experience and knowledge to safely care for them.

At all Buckland Care homes that is exactly what we offer. We do everything we can to make our residents feel at ease, with tailored features for those living with dementia. Every carer is trained to care for dementia patients and our homes have been adapted to aid those living with a dementia-related illness.

Respite Care

Buckland Care homes provide respite care for people who may only require a short stay in a care home. Respite care is an invaluable service for those who care full-time for their loved ones, providing them with a chance to take a break from daily responsibilities.

Some residents use it as a way to trial the home before moving in full term, to see if they will feel settled and at home. The length of time residents stay is flexible and can be anything from a week to a few months. We will work with you and deliver a high level of professional care to all residents no matter how long they are staying with us.

Palliative or End of Life Care

Ultimately, we all want to end our lives in quiet dignity, free from pain, in a place where we feel at home. The final stages of a person’s life can be a complicated and emotionally overwhelming experience for the family.

We aim to control pain and ease the suffering of our residents, ensuring that we make their lives as fulfilling as possible through to the end. Buckland Care also provides tailored emotional support and practical guidance for families and friends throughout end of life care.

Day Care

In all of our homes at Buckland Care, we offer day care for those who wish to socialise with their peers and be looked after during the day but return to their own home in the evening.

The benefits of this are plentiful: allowing full time carers to rest; socialising with like-minded people and keeping the body and mind active; relieving oneself of the hassle of personal care and home-cooked meal preparation; a simple change of scene. With our welcoming staff on hand all day, individuals can feel safe and secure within our friendly care homes and enjoy a different environment to their own home.

Staff

Many of the exceptional staff have been at Brunswick for a long time and are devoted to the wellbeing of the residents. They are considerate, accommodating and supportive, not just towards the residents but towards their families as well.

Who can actually stay seated when a good boogie is calling your name?Just when we thought we couldn’t handle any more excitement, Sue upped the ante and broke out the balloons and bats for a high-stakes round of "Lounge Tennis." 🎾🎈We’ve truly worked up a sweat today, but every bit of effort was worth it for the sheer joy in the room. Sue has this incredible gift for filling the air with laughter and smiles, turning a regular Friday into a full-blown celebration.We’re all exhausted in the best way possible and already counting down the days until our next session!

Midweek slump? Not on our watch 😄We turned an ordinary Wednesday into a full-on cinema experience — chairs all lined up, lights down low, curtains drawn… you’d swear you’d walked straight into Chitty Chitty Bang Bang itself! Popcorn was at the ready, excitement was in the air, and we were all set for a proper film afternoon featuring that timeless classic we all know and love.But wait… the show didn’t stop there 🎉We also had a very special celebration in the spotlight! Our very own David — the one and only dancing king — was marking an incredible 92 years young. And let me tell you, he didn’t just show up… he showed OUT! Looking absolutely dapper, suited and booted, ready to paint the town red with his family. Honestly, we were all wondering if we should’ve asked him for fashion tips!Of course, when he returned, we couldn’t let the occasion pass quietly. Oh no… we gave him the full VIP treatment with a big, loud, slightly off-key (but full of love!) rendition of Happy Birthday 🎶 Just when he thought his celebrations were winding down, we had one more surprise up our sleeves to keep the party spirit going.Because really… what’s a Wednesday without a little movie magic, a lot of laughter, and a birthday worth remembering? 🎂✨#birthdaycelebration #familytime #wednesdayvibes #HomeCinema #PopcornAndMovies #sweet&salty #films #CareHomeLife @followers Buckland Care Gloucestershire Everyone is Included-All People, All Places, All Ways Gloucestershire Live Gloucestershire Historic Churches Trust ...

Tuesday Fitness fun! 💪☀️We kicked off the day with Matt and his trusty bean bags, frogs, and parachute—always guaranteed to get everyone moving! 🐸🪂 We practised our throwing techniques through a few games… no competitiveness of course, just plenty of friendly fun and banter 😄We wrapped up the session with some gentle exercises to keep our joints moving, all set to calming music—perfect way to wind down. Then came the real challenge… multitasking! 🤔 Pat your head and rub your tummy at the same time—easier said than done! Lots of laughs, but we did pretty well (if we do say so ourselves!).After lunch, Darren returned for a game of Boccia. With the lovely weather, we took it outside to enjoy the sunshine ☀️ We stayed cool in the shade while Darren and his son soaked up the sun!It was a close match, but the Blue team took the win, with Red team not far behind. As always, there was plenty of friendly debate—even the judges had to have a quick chat to agree on a few calls! 😄We finished off with a well-earned ice cream break 🍦 before Jeremiah brought out the karaoke machine for an impromptu singalong 🎤A fun-filled afternoon in the garden—we can’t wait for more days like this!#funandgames #exercise #beanbags #boccia #fitnessmotivation #comesingwithus #springishere #gardentime #enjoythesunshine #togethertime #exerciseisfun @followers Buckland Care Matson, Robinswood & White City Community Partnership Everyone is Included-All People, All Places, All Ways Gloucestershire Gloucestershire Historic Churches Trust ...
